Hi Luvers,
I have a cloud server from a cloud provider thats supposed to have 1Gb allocated ram, but its only showing 761Mb (using free -m)
XXX@XXXX:~# free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 761 668 92 0 6 183 -/+ buffers/cache: 478 283 Swap: 1023 25 998
Any reason why?
Cheers, Daniel
Hi Daniel, Looks weird to me. free uses base 1024 by default, you can make it use base 1000 with the --si switch.
Here's a vps that was advertised to me as having 512m of ram:
$ free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 496 382 114 0 34 191 -/+ buffers/cache: 157 339 Swap: 967 8 959
$ free -m --si total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 508 392 116 0 35 196 -/+ buffers/cache: 161 347 Swap: 991 8 982
Hi Andrew I have tried that (free --si) , it reports 778 (or something like that_. Btw its Debian 7. The value 761 also seems like a weird number? Has anyone had any issue with Debian reporting wrong memory? Daniel.
